What is the difference between parallel lines and parallel planes?

Parallel lines are two 1-dimensional objects that do not meet. Parallel planes are two 2-dimensional objects that do not meet.

No, perpendicular planes intercept at only one point. Parallel planes do not intersect at all.


What are similarities and differences between a prism and a pyramid?

What is the frustum of cone?

It is the section of a cone between two parallel planes that are perpendicular to the axis of the cone. In simpler terms, it is what is left of a solid cone when the pointed end is cut off.


What is the locus of points in space that are equidistant from two parallel planes?

A plane midway between the two given planes and parallel to them.


Will the perpendicular bisectors of a right triangle always intersect?

yes, because perpendicular lines always intersect. all lines intersect unless they are parallel or on separate planes (skew)


How do you draw a line that intersects two nonintersecting planes?

If the planes are non-intersecting, then they're parallel. Any line that intersects one of them intersects both of them.


Can planes be parallel?

Yes. The opposite ends of any right prism consists of two congruent and parallel faces. Two planes are parallel if the vertical distance between them is always the same.
